Our Palm Coast providers focus on conditions that impact the endocrine and nervous systems, improving your overall well-being. Take charge of your neuroendocrinological health by working with a provider from our team at Anti-Aging & Regenerative Associates.
The Basic Facts About Neuroendocrinology
Neurology focuses on studying the nervous system and the brain. Endocrinology studies and treats conditions associated with our hormones. Neuroendocrinology is the study of the way the brain and hormones interact with one another, specifically the effects of hormones on behavior.
Our Palm Coast providers have built a deep well of knowledge about many body systems and parts of the medical field, including neuroendocrinology. Depending upon the unique needs of a patient, providers may receive referrals from OB/GYNs or psychiatrists.
Hormones Impact Your Body
According to Cleveland Clinic, hormones act as tiny messengers, moving signals around your body. Our bodies produce and use many different hormones, which function in different ways. Some hormones impact moods, while others affect metabolism or growth.
Irregular or unusual hormone levels can directly impact your health and behavior, often impacting neurological systems. Our providers in Palm Coast focus on treating hormonal imbalances and helping our patients feel better.
How Hormone Production Works in the Body
Several different organs, glands, and systems around the body produce hormones. For example, the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands all produce different hormones. Both men’s and women’s reproductive systems also produce hormones.
Your body signals for the production of hormones from these systems. When the systems function properly, the systems produce the correct number of hormones, which then cause effects throughout your body.
Health issues may develop if your body systems produce too many or too few hormones.

Examples of How Our Providers Handle Neuroendocrinological Conditions
Providers in Palm Coast handle a wide variety of neuroendocrinological concerns for their patients. Some examples of these conditions include:
Anxiety Disorders
Some patients who deal with anxiety may face a hormone imbalance. For example, according to Biological Psychiatry, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can lead to increased feelings of anxiety. Addressing this imbalance can allow patients to increase their sense of peace.
Gland Lesions
Patients may develop lesions on their pituitary or hypothalamic glands. These lesions eventually lead to hormonal changes, as the glands cannot perform their standard functions. This can result in changes to behavior or cognition.
Menopause Symptoms
Most women experience symptoms throughout menopause. However, the severity of these symptoms can vary. The symptoms may include increased anxiety, mood changes, and increased severity of seizures caused by hormonal changes.
Neurological Disorders
Some individuals who experience a hormone imbalance may discover they have issues with their:
- Memory
- Ability to concentrate
- Mood
In some cases, these symptoms follow thyroid gland dysfunction or even a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Reproductive Hormone Disorders
Some patients experience disorders related to their reproductive hormones due to issues with their temporal lobe. These issues may result in a diminished sex drive, for example. Working with our providers in Palm Coast can help address these concerns.

Organs Involved in the Endocrine System
Our providers focus on several endocrine systems throughout the body. They may perform assessments and tests to determine what organ or gland has caused your health problems. For example, they may assess the function of your:
Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus plays a large role in the production and transport of hormones. It serves as the relay center for the brain’s neurological systems.
Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland also plays a role in hormone production and control. It secretes several specialized hormones, including oxytocin. The pituitary contains three distinct lobes, each of which plays a role in your hormone balance.
